Pair of Gazelle 10B chairs in all cast aluminium by Dan Johnson

About the Item

The Gazelle chair was designed by Dan Johnson in 1958 as part of a series of chairs that Johnson developed during and after completing a commission to design an apartment in Rome. Johnson hired Italian craftsmen to produce walnut, bronze, and aluminum versions of this line of chairs using traditional casting and weaving techniques dating back to antiquity. The Gazelle chair has a unique design with a curved backrest that resembles the horns of a gazelle. This version also features an aluminium seat and backrest cast in the shape of rattan caning. The Gazelle chair is an iconic piece of mid-century modern design highly sought after by collectors and this set is a particularly rare version.
